Since there are not any custom roms available for the new baseband, I thought it might be worthwhile to have a thread on customizing kwes1020's Rooted Stock Rom. I went for an ICS look on mine using available themes and apps. By the way, I have found this ROM to be quite stable with good battery life.
Themes/Customizations available on XDA:
[Theme]Touch of ICS for Stock 2.3.4
v21y 2.3.4 Arc'd Theme+QuickPanel MOD (Have not tried this one yet)
ICS "Style" Settings for 2.3.4 (Have not tried this one yet)
Market Apps:
ADWLauncher EX
Ice Cream Sandwich (theme)
Notification Toggle (Good alternative for Weapon G2x like toggles)
/system/app mover (Moves Notification Toggle into system folder)
Roboto Font Customization:
Download Roboto Font Family
Roboto replacement for Clockopia (lockscreen clock) (Prevents alignment problems)
There are many ways to install, I used TypeFresh with AndExplorer.
Remove Bloat:
NoBloat Free
Bookmarks Manager
Add:
Thanks for adding this thread.
Go Launcher Ex Really an excellent launcher replacement.
Rom Toolbox Pro: Gives you access to adding Roboto fonts and installing custom startup animations.
and
Go Locker: a really nice lockscreen add-on that you can customize.
Nice thread... I wish I knew how to mess with code to release a modded ROM... it does seem as though our only hope of one is gone now.

The only thing I can think is that attempts to adjust just the kernel to match the new baseband have been unsuccesful. Two things that might yet work:
1. Any way to move the phone code from this ROM to a flashable zip(less likely) or
2. The source code is out there. Can we build CM 7.2 on top of this base? I wish I knew more about this...

Thanks for the all in one thread. I just flashed back to 21e like 5 min ago...oh well. Battery life was horrible with 21y for me. i am more than happy to help out with any questions here. i I do have one question. Why is it that when i did a task in TiB ,like un-installing, or just on random on the main home screen, i would have to press the return/back soft key? I was using ADW. didnt seem to be an issue with the stock launcher. did i miss something?

Hey everyone. I have been searching to no avail and was wondering if maybe someone can help. I'm using a pretty much stock rom, just rooted, and running adw EX. I know there are gingerbread themes for CM6.1, which change the notification bar icons and all to green, but I have yet to see one for a sense rom. Even the ADW themes dont change the notification bar (unless I'm missing something?) Can someone out there point me in the right direction if there is one? Thanks!
I have yet to see one and im a rom/theme junkie lol.

I made one that I am using on my phone right now with Wes's Z rom, but I can't for the life of me change the 3g icon to anything, it always remains the stock icon. Everything else is Gingerbread themed though. Apparently Wes is making one as well, I am asking him how he changed the 3g icon (if he was able to) so that I can finish mine. I did, however, incorporate DarkTharen's Conservative icons into my status bar, so the only Gingerbread icons in my status bar are the usuals (reception bars, battery [with percentage], and WiFi).

I've been running this since last night, and it seems to work much better for me than when I tried to run TW 4.5. The only issue I've had so far is with market updates crashing the market, but I'm sure that's from the way I restored all my apps, since I was so tired.
I would like to know if anyone knows of a way to do this true TW4 standalone from the ROM, or is the only way to use this ROM?
If it is anything like TW4.5, you have to turn on landscape mode followed by a reboot. It only has to be done once but once you do you get landscape.

Yeah, all you need is the framework.jar from the framework folder and it needs to go in an Eh17 rom and you also need twlauncher from system/app

Just manually add the apps you want on the dock.
(App Drawer > Menu > View Type > Customizable Grid > Menu > Edit > *Make Changes* > Menu > Save > Menu > View Type > Go back to what you like.)
It's a lot more annoying than other launchers on the market, but you can still do it. TW4 seems to have a maximum of three apps, plus the app drawer. On the custom TW4.5, it allows for more, but the app drawer still will always be the right-most icon. Those two things are all I would as for Samsung.. well maybe an auto-hide home screen number too. Minor annoyances but a silky smooth launcher.
Also, thanks for the reply xboxfanj, about trying to add this without needing to flash the whole ROM.
Thanks.

If I can find the time, I might try learning how to do that, because I'm having a bit too much trouble combining my mods. I might tinker with it, along side working on getting ACS ICS where I want it on my phone. In the meantime, I've been using QQLauncher. It's nicer looking, and more of what I want, since it readily works with ACS ICS, but TW4 seemed to be a bit smoother for me. Now that the Galaxy Nexus has been announced, I might also be a little more patient as things develop. Not to mention, Cyanogen is getting pretty polished. Decisions, decisions.. I'll be glad when I'm finally settled on something. Until then, hopefully I can learn enough to help put some of these solid mods together.

Hello everyone i just signed up and i own a Samsung Infuse 4G and ive been flashing some roms on it lately and i want to know in your opinion what is the best rom.
i tried zeus, and i like it but i hate build 5.2 and build 6, because of the fact that wallpapers do not scroll. live wallpapers do, but static ones do not. I love build 3 fixed for ZEUS because it has scrollable wall papers and the app drawer is transparent. i dont like the black background when looking through my apps i like it see through.
but, being build 3 it freezes quite a bit. i tried CM7, didnt like it. i want to try something else.
I hate flashing roms and testing them because every time i restore it gives me an error saying "No sdcard/.android.secure Found. Skipping restore of SD card apps." so i have to re install 1 by 1 the apps with titanium backup and its really annoying. once i reach my 10 post mark i will start to post in the developers thread but this is all i can do now.
in a rom in need stability, no freezing no non working elements, all that.
clean, simple and crisp.
no dumb animations to lag the os and use mass ram. clean simple and fast. id even use gingerbread with touchwiz 4.0 like on the samsung galaxy s 2 skyrocket LTE that has a very good stock OS. maybe there is a way to put that on my infuse? I want to try s.u.r.f.a.c.e. rom but that's a hard way to flash it
any suggestions?

You can always Port your own ROM. Just saying.
If all you don't like about ZEUS is the launcher's look, then you can use one of the alternative launchers available off Market... err Play... or whatever Google is calling its new and improved more privacy breaking app download thing.
Off hand, the two I can think of are GOLauncher and PhoenixLauncher. I currently use GOLauncher on ZEUS and like it quite a bit, plus it's free. I think I'm going to give PhoenixLauncher a go after some of the bugs are worked out.

Yerp on the surface rom...super lite...has lots of add on apps...smooth,stable....
The reason that wallpapers don't scroll is a SAMSUNG issue, not a Zeus issue, a change they made in the new gb leaks, so they wont change, on any rom built from that leak. Build 3 is no more and outdated, so if you don't want another launcher I suggest keeping build 3 because I removed it from the server. And tw 4 is way too buggy and unstable, that's why it was removed and will not return.

I just thought I would ask if anyone knows of developers updating to the new baseband so all of us users can gauge when to do the upgrade. I know that "you'll get your new ROMs when you get therm." is the standard XDA response, but I just wanted to gauge the development.
Hard to say. Seems like ICS is the thing now. I'm sure they are though.
If I'm bored today I was thinking about looking to try to put the extra reboot options in power menu lol .
The only changes I'm particularly interested in are to get a battery icon that shows the numerical percentage and to get rid of the "fully charged" popup, both of which were in lotherius' Tsugi, based on an earlier leaked version of this ROM. Otherwise, I'm happy with it in its current state.

Tsugi was based off p95g that's why ums was buggy. Just because something is the same android version does not mean they are alike.
I've managed to port most of the tweaks options and the toggles from weapon. After I get that 100% I'll add some lock screens and such.

Yup they're already done. I think I'm gonna throw an all new theme over the ROM just to have something different.
Other features I'm thinking about adding are crt animations, swype to remove notifications, and a few others here and there. I'm not going to add extended power menu because toggles already handle all that. These other features and new lock screens will probably come as updates since I'm trying to get something stable to use first. And lock screens are a major pain in the ass.

If you're like me and got tired of the instabilities of ICS roms and switched to a GB one, but missed the look and feel of ICS, then here is your answer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636393
Holo Launcher works for 2.2 and above. I've been running it on top of HFP 2.2 for 3 days with no problems. It does a great job of giving you an ICS feel on your GB ROM and also features pinch previews and scrollable docks. I recommend using this with a rom that supports Theme Chooser to fully customize your device and really get that Sandwich feel (or whatever other feel you want )
thats pretty cool, gonna try this when i get home, thanks for posting this!
I've been using it for 2 days and it is nice and gives the same exact feel of stock launcher of 4.0.4 without the lag haha, I wish Widgets would work but it is only a beta ;-)

My current rom supports lockscreen gestures (I use them frequently). And if you hold down on an app from the app drawer, drag it to the delete/trash icon, and hold it there, it turns into an uninstall icon. Note: this only works with downloaded apps and not system apps.***
Oh.. and I appreciate thanks, but if you try the launcher and like it, please show your support and thanks to dev in the original thread linked in the OP. Thanks!
Its Ok, doesn't compare to ADW with the ICS Sqrd paid theme is smooth silky Butter!
I tried this before, it's not bad but I'd rather use GO Launcher EX with an ICS theme. It's just way smoother for my phone.
